Forum and wiki upgrades pending
Hi all,
I'm planning on upgrading to the latest version of the forum software and wiki software for the Cafe de Nuit and Mistipedia over the next few days. Our hosts have upgraded their PHP version and these old versions of the forum and wiki don't support the latest PHP. I've had to have them roll back PHP a few times so we could continue running, but the right answer going forward is to upgrade. I'm saving backups of everything and hopefully nothing will be lost in translation, but you may experience some downtime in the coming days...

Re: Forum and wiki upgrades pending
Thanks for taking the effort to do this, Gon.
Will the rest of the site (i.e the forums) continue normally?

Only the forums and wiki would be impacted. The main site, netbooks, etc. will be unaffected.alhoon wrote:Thanks for taking the effort to do this, Gon.

Of course as soon as I announce I'm going to do something, life intervenes.... Haven't done the upgrade yet. Looking more likely next week.

OK, upgrade is complete. all forums, posts, users seem to be here. Still working out installing styles and mods. Bear with me a bit longer. Might have to deal with this generic "prosilver" style for a bit.

Re: Forum and wiki upgrades pending
OK, I've got some other styles installed now. Of course, all the old ones are no longer compatible
Will take some time to add the FoS styling to them all. Please be patient while I get things back to some semblance of comfortable.

Minor addition on my part: Can you still install a module that allows for the embedding of videos?
Not that this would be terribly necessary, but in the age of the streaming geek culture, it's probably useful.
(I'm using the light, and very uncharacteristic Latte skin, by the way. Not very Lofty, but... Gives me something.)

Ehh... Could we get back the old styles please? The parchment-Roman like what it was called?Gonzoron of the FoS wrote: ↑Tue Feb 01, 2022 5:26 pm OK, I've got some other styles installed now. Of course, all the old ones are no longer compatible

I am using latte but the colors still clash.

Re: Forum and wiki upgrades pending
I will try my best, but it may not be possible for technical reasons. None of the old styles are listed as compatible with the newest version of the software, and I'm not sure if updating them to be so is within my skills. I tried to get a smattering of compatible styles that are at least in the same genre as what we had before. If anyone finds a phpbb3.3.x compatible style they want installed, I'm happy to do so.
